Early day motion 399, tabled 21 September 2022 by Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 5 members.

That this House does not wish to enter recess at this time of national crisis; notes with concern that the House would be entering recess before considering the necessary legislation to reassure British businesses of their future; notes with further concern that the House will enter a recess before either Northern Irish or rural communities have been given legislative reassurance about what energy support they will receive; notes with great concern that the House enters recess before the Government’s legislative strategy on the economy can face real Parliamentary scrutiny; welcomes the Government’s motion to reduce recess but considers it not enough; notes that the House has been in session for only five days since the 21 July 2022, five of sixty-one working days, and that it will not consider primary legislation to tackle the present crisis until at least October; and calls for the action hon. Members' constituents expect, not further delay.
